IMPROVEMENTVIN LOOM-TEMPLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 152,38 l, dated June23, 1874; application tiled November 3, 1873.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that l, VICTOR JAGGI, of the city and county of Philadelphiaand State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement inTemple for Looms; and I do hereby declare the following to be a clearand exact. description of the nature thereof, sutlicient to enableothers skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to fullyunderstand, make, and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings making part of this Specification, in which-Figure l is a top or plan view of the device embodying` my invention.Fig. 2 is a side view thereof. Fig. 3 is an end view thereof.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts in theseveral figures.

This invention consists in the construction of the temple-frame,base-plate, and a holdingscrew, whereby the frame may be removed withoutremoval of t-he screw, and the throw ofthe temple may be adjusted.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the frame; B, the arm whichcarries the roller; and O, the spring' ofthe arm, which parts are wellknown.- The forward end of the arm B, on the side toward the fabric, isformed with a notch, D, which, when the arm is forced back, is adaptedto engage with one side of the forward guide E ot' the frame, throughwhich the arm passes, as seen at a, dotted lines, Fig. l.

When it is required to hohl back the arm, it is pushed in until thenotch clears the side of the guide E and the two caused to engage,

the spring O pressing the notch against the guide, and the inward strainor pull ofthe cloth or the temple-roll serving to draw the te1nple-armdiagonally or laterally, thus insuring the enga gement of the notch andguide.

F represents a base-plate, which is adapted to be secured to a properportion of the loom, and is slotted transversely, as a-t G, and in theslot is passed a screw or bolt, whereby the temple may be adjustedlaterally, as occasion requires. On the upper face of one side ofthebase-plate there are formed transversely-arranged serrations H, and onthe under side of the frame A there are formed similar serrations J, thetwo series of serrations bein g adapted to engage with each other, andthus lock the frame and base-plate. K represents a screw, passingthrough the longitudinal slot L of the frame A into the base-plate F, sothat the two parts may be securely connected.

It will be seen that, when`tl1e screw K is loosened, the frame A may beadjusted longitudinally for increasing or decreasing the throw of thetemple, the serrations H J coinciding and quickly engaging with eachother,

and the sciew K afterward readily connecting the frame and plate.

The head of the screw K is attened, to pass through the slot L, and itsneck shouldered at M, to overlap the sides of the narrow portion of saidslot L, whereby, by a half-turn of the screw, its at sides register withthe slot L, the shoulders M clear the sides of the slot, and the frame Amay then be removed from the base-plate without removal of the screw;the half-turn of the screw and retention thereof on the base-plate beingmatters of great moment to weavers, since expenditure of time to removeand apply the screw, and soiling of the hands or of the head of thescrew, as ordinarily, are avoided.

The fra-me A is fitted to the base-plate F, between flanges N on thelatter, whereby the frame is guided and braced, lateral strain thereonis received, and displacement thereof prevented.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The flat-headed screw K, the slotted and serrated frame A, and theserra-ted base-plate F, combined and operating substantially as and forthe purpose set forth.

2. The arm B formed with notch D, the frame A with serrations J and slotL, the baseplate F with serra-tions H and slot G, and the nat-headedscrew K, combined and operating as described.
